Tell It to the Frogs

Rick and the survivors return to the camp and he meets his wife Lori and his son Carl. Lori does not tell him about her affair with Shane and is upset and angry with Shane, since he told her that Rick was dead. The survivors have to face Merle's brother Daryl Dixon, who is also a violent man, to tell him that his brother was left behind. Rick decides to return to Atlanta to rescue Merle and his bag of arms and ammunition with Daryl, Glenn and T-Dog. However, when they reach the rooftop, they only find Merle's hand.

"Tell It to the Frogs" is a dramatic episode of "Walking Dead". Lori's embarrassment with the return of her husband that was presumed dead and Merle's despair are very dramatic situation. Shane is emotionally lost and frustrated with the arrival of his best friend and husband of the woman that he loves. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Tell It to the Frogs" (1.3)

Note: On 08 April 2016, I saw this show again.

Rick reunites with his family and other survivors.

This is a strong character focussed episode that establishes some interesting dynamics.

The story moves fairly slowly but the focus is on a number of good interactions between characters such as the Grimes family, Shane, Daryl and others. It establishes solid drama with the relationships established since Rick has been presumed dead and the nagging guilt associated with leaving Merle handcuffed to a rooftop.

I particularly enjoyed the social themes shown in a number of scenes depicting humanity reverting to its primal state. The visuals of female characters doing the washing and foraging work as the males either hunter-gather, protect or general laze about is good. The exchange of dialogue between the ladies discussing the various technologies they miss is great. With all the social constructions in ruins it will be interesting to see what kind of society grows throughout the show.

It ends with a taster of what is to come in the next episode which works well to make you want to carry on watching.

The visuals are strong, with some good images of people living in the survivors camp. I like the shots where some characters are centre strange but you also see others busy in the background either watching or doing other things.

The horror effects are brutal as ever, but there is more focus on the living in this episode with less action and zombie bashing.

Andrew Lincoln leads the show well again with good support from the other cast members, such as Norman Reedus, Michael Rooker, Jon Bernthal and Sarah Wayne Callies.

After two tense first episodes where our characters had to figure out how to surrvive and escape, we slow down for a bit and focus on our characters!

Despite its slower nature, i still enjoyed this episode as it contained some heartwarming and emotional moments and introduces one of the BEST characters in the show.. Daryl Dixon! This guy steals the show from his first scene!

This episode stands as an important episode for Rick as well as giving us the first glimpse of the path that Shane will go down!

The end was satisfying and I really enjoyed the soundtrack!

Overall a slower but still strong episode!

The Walking Dead gains traction as it goes deeper into the story. After the last episode, things slows down a little bit but not the intensity. We see some more heartfelt emotion especially the scene in the beginning where Merle is delirious due to exposure and the reunion scene between Rick and his family.

"Tell It To the Frogs" has Rick finding his family again due to the dismay of his best friend, Shane. After telling Merle's brother the bad news, Rick and some others head back to the city to rescue Merle. But a little surprise is in store for them.

Overall, this is still another good episode despite some slowness. But the slowness is good because we can see the way the people live in times of disaster. The shoe is getting better and better with each episode. I rate this episode 9/10.

The third installment is another great episode with solid character development and emotional revelations that fans wanted to see. Daryl Dixon and the great Carol Peletier made their first appearances, and Rick reunited with his family with a silent conflict at hand.
